WE ARE what we publish. And what we publish depends entirely on the people involved. First, there are our authors, the list of whom gets longer and more varied and talented over time, as the books featured in this catalogue illustrate. Second, there are the people who work for Profile, who commission, edit, design, produce, publicise and do the marketing and selling of our books. Sadly, this catalogue marks the retirement of Peter Carson, one of the greatest editors in Britain. He was Editorin-Chief at Penguin for many years and we have been lucky enough to have enjoyed his wit and benefited from his judgement and extraordinary breadth of knowledge and experience for the past twelve years. Many of the books in this catalogue – and in the pipeline for future publication – were guided by him. He has made an extraordinary contribution to our publishing and this is to record our thanks to Peter for everything he has done for our authors and for us. Happy reading.

Destiny in the Desert The Story Behind El Alamein – the Battle that Turned the Tide A thrilling new history The British victory at the Battle of El Alamein in 1942 inspired one of Churchill’s most famous aphorisms: ‘it is not the end, nor is it the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning’ – yet the true significance of this iconic episode remains unrecognised. In this fascinating historical debut, Jonathan Dimbleby shows how it was pivotal to take control of a vital front in the Mediterranean theatre, describing the political and strategic realities that lay behind the battle. He skilfully evokes the nail-biting months that led to victory, both at the front, and in the war capitals of London, Washington, Berlin, Rome and Moscow. Destiny in the Desert is about politicians and generals, diplomats and civil servants and ordinary soldiers. Drawing on the experiences and insights of those involved at every level, Dimbleby creates a vivid portrait of a struggle which marked a crucial turning point – and which for the soldiers on the ground involved fighting and dying in a foreign desert.
Jonathan Dimbleby is a writer, broadcaster and film-maker. He presents Any Questions? and Any Answers? for BBC Radio 4. His series An African Journey and A South American Journey were both broadcast on BBC2. His books include Russia: A Journey to the Heart of a Land and its People and The Last Governor.

Spell It Out The Story of English Spelling Why spelling is in such a mess – and how to get it right Why is there an ‘h’ in ghost? William Caxton, inventor of the printing press and his Flemish employees are to blame: without a dictionary or style guide to hand in fifteenth century Bruges, the typesetters simply spelt it the way it sounded to their foreign ears, and it stuck. In Spell It Out, our foremost linguistics expert David Crystal unearths the stories behind the rogue words that confound us, and explains why these peculiarities entered the mainstream. And it is, as Crystal shows, learning about how they came to be that spellings that break all the rules become easier to get right. £12.99 224pp Demy hardback ISBN: 978 1 84668 567 5 e-ISBN: 978 1 84765 822 7 Language September 2012 World ex USA/Can Tr

Lessons from the Top How Leaders Succeed Through the Power of Stories A first-hand account of what leaders can teach us about success Through the stories they tell, great leaders educate, persuade and bring about change – but we rarely have the background knowledge to understand how they do so. In this hugely insightful guide to getting to the top and staying there. Gavin Esler has used his thirty years of experience interviewing world-famous figures, from Bill Clinton to Angelina Jolie, to reveal the secrets of the successful and the powerful. Introducing the three questions every leader must answer – and the elements that the best stories must contain – Esler explains how creating a leadership story can promote success at all levels, whether running for the presidency of the United States, or applying for a place at university. Spanning fields from business and culture to the military, and full of wonderful anecdotes, The Power of Stories offers a fascinating portrait of leadership in the twenty-first century – and shows how the methods of the most powerful leaders can work for you.
Gavin Esler is an award-winning television and radio broadcaster and journalist. He is the author of five novels and a non-fiction book, The United States of Anger. He presents Newsnight and Dateline London on the BBC and is a regular writer and commentator across print media.

Securing Freedom The former head of MI5 on freedom, intelligence, the rule of law, torture and security
How do we balance our belief in human freedom with the need to defend ourselves against those who believe the use of terror can be justified? Can our handling of security risks and the laws we pass to deal with them distort our response to the threat of terrorism? In this sobering and remarkably frank analysis based on her 2011 Reith Lectures, Eliza ManninghamBuller, ex-Director General of MI5, the British Security Service, talks about key events during her tenure – from the threat of the IRA to al-Qaeda. She states that torture works but must never be used, how intelligence is gathered and why surveillance is necessary to protect democracy, the importance of the rule of law and why without security there can be no liberty.

Occupation Diaries ‘Few Palestinians have opened their minds and their hearts with such frankness’ The New York Times
It is often the smallest details of daily life that tell us the most. And so it is under occupation in Palestine. What most of us take for granted has to be carefully thought about and planned for: When will the post be allowed to get through? Will there be enough water for the bath tonight? How shall I get rid of the rubbish collecting outside? How much time should I allow for the journey to visit my cousin, going through checkpoints? And big questions too: Is working with left-wing Israelis collaborating or not? What affect will the Arab Spring have on the future of Palestine? What can anyone do to bring about change? Are any of life’s pleasures untouched by politics?
Raja Shehadeh is Palestine’s leading writer. He is also a lawyer and the founder of the pioneering Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq. He is the author of several acclaimed books including Strangers in the House and A Rift in Time and winner of the 2008 Orwell Prize for Palestinian Walks (all Profile).

Cézanne A Biography A remarkable new biography of a visionary artist Today Cézanne is a monumental figure, but during his lifetime many did not understand him or his work. Drawing on a vast range of primary sources, acclaimed biographer and art historian Alex Danchev tells the story of an artist who was never accepted into the official Paris Salon and whose work sold to no one outside his immediate circle until his late thirties. He maintained that ‘to paint from nature is not to copy an object; it is to represent its sensations’ – a belief way ahead of his time that became the obsession of many other artists and writers, from Matisse and Braque to Rilke and Gertrude Stein. Cézanne: A Life vividly depicts the fascinating days and years of the visionary who said he would ‘astonish Paris with an apple’, and delivers a complete assessment of Cézanne’s influence through artistic imaginations in our own time. As this landmark work shows, he is a cultural icon whose revelations and impact are as far-reaching as Marx or Freud.

Raffles The Man in his Moment The first biography in decades of the ‘Father of Singapore’ Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781–1826) was the charismatic and persuasive founder of Singapore and Governor of Java. An English adventurer, disobedient employee of the East India Company, utopian imperialist, linguist, zoologist and civil servant, he carved an extraordinary (though brief) life for himself in South-East Asia. The tropical, disease-ridden settings of his story are as dramatic as his own trajectory – an obscure young man with no advantages other than talent and obsessive drive, who changed history by establishing without authority, on the wretchedly unpromising island of Singapore, a settlement which became a world city. Raffles remains a controversial figure, and in the first biography for over forty years, Victoria Glendinning charts his prodigious rise within the social and historical contexts of his world. His domestic and personal life was vivid and shot through with tragedy. His own end was sad, though his fame immortal.

Events, Dear Boy, Events A Political Diary of Britain from the Great War to the Present Revealing, funny, sad, entertaining – and sometimes deeply shocking Revealing perspectives on the tumultuous events of our recent history are brought to life in this diary of the last century. Ruth Winstone draws back the curtain on the lives of political classes, their doubts, ambitions and emotions. She moves deftly among those in the thick of it, showing the elation, anger, doubts, jealousy, joys and fears of those such as Nicolson, Cooper, Channon, Macmillan, Castle, Clark, Benn, Campbell, Mullin and Ashdown as they record their own – and the nation’s – triumphs and disasters. To this potent mix she adds the mordant perceptions of observers like Woolf, Beaton, Hall and Strong, and the vivid records of everyday life found in the diaries of otherwise ordinary men and women. Events, Dear Boy, Events is a compelling mix of insights onto Britain’s recent past, by turns comical, moving and shocking, consistently fascinating and always entertaining; it offers sharply contrasting perspectives.
Ruth Winstone is the editor of Chris Mullin’s trilogy of diaries covering British political life 1994–2010 and of Tony Benn’s written and taped records. For many years she worked as a Senior Clerk in the library of the House of Commons.

En route, there are ‘mapbreak’ tales on Michelin and railway maps, how to fold a map, the lives of the great mapmakers, maps of places that never existed, a London A–Z from 1677 and the top ten strangest maps on the internet. On The Map will explain where we’ve been, how we got there and where we’re going.

Understanding the Great War is crucial to understanding the history of the twentieth-century – and the world today. In this magnum opus, critically acclaimed historian Peter Hart examines the conflict in a fascinating account that combines cutting-edge scholarship with rare eyewitness accounts from kings, generals and ordinary soldiers. He vividly explains how tactics and technology developed and determined which battles were crucial to its outcome. There were winners and losers from every corner of the globe, but their voices are rarely heard together.

The Tragedy of the Templars And the Crusader States An illuminating new study of the Templars and the Crusader states In 1187, nearly a century after the victorious First Crusade, Saladin captured Jerusalem. The Templars, headquartered on the Temple Mount, were driven from the city along with the Frankish population. The fall of Jerusalem was a turning point, the start of a narrative of desperate struggle and relentless loss. In little more than a century Acre would be destroyed, the Franks driven from Outremer, and the Templars themselves, reviled and disgraced, would face their final immolation. Michael Haag’s new book explores the rise of the Templars and their destruction against the backdrop of the Crusader ideal and their settlement venture in Outremer, which even after 400 years of Muslim occupation remained predominantly Christian, and with whom the Franks intermarried and created a distinctive civilisation. It is a story in which you know that everything will go wrong and the fascination and the horror is in how it does so, and how complete is the loss.
Michael Haag has written widely on the Egyptian, Classical and Medieval worlds. He is author of a dozen books, notably Alexandria: City of Memory, a definitive study of Cavafy, Forster and Lawrence Durrell in the city, and of The Templars: History and Myth.

CHARLES FERNYHOUGH
Pieces of Light How we Imagine the Past and Remember the Future A fascinating and lyrical exploration of autobiographical memory by a leading psychologist Memory is an essential part of who we are. But what is a memory, and how do we remember? A new consensus is emerging among cognitive scientists: rather than possessing a particular memory from our past, we construct it anew each time we are called upon to remember. Remembering is an act of narrative as much as it is the product of a neurological process. Pieces of Light illuminates this theory through a collection of human stories, each illustrating a facet of memory’s complex synergy of cognitive and neurological functions. Drawing on the latest research, case studies and personal experience, Charles Fernyhough delves into the memories of trauma victims and amnesiacs; and of the very young and very old – visiting medieval memoria and scent-museums along the way. Exquisitely written and meticulously researched, Pieces of Light blends science and literature, the ordinary and the extraordinary, to illuminate the way we remember and forget.

BERNIE KRAUSE
The Great Animal Orchestra Finding the Origins of Music in the World’s Wild Places ‘Krause and his theory are the real thing’ E. O. Wilson In this unique crossover of science and music, the world’s leading expert on ‘natural sound’, Bernie Krause, shows not only why animals and nature sound as they do – but also why it is critical to preserve the soundscapes we have. Bernie Krause has spent decades recording them; but because of human actions half of the 40,000 wild soundscapes he has archived no longer exist. Krause divides wild sound into three categories: ‘biophony’ is the sound made by animals and plants, like the shrimp that makes noises equivalent to 165 decibels; ‘geophony’ is natural sound, like wind and rain, which led different tribes to have different musical scales and ‘anthrophony’ is human-generated sound, which has a deep impact on the natural world, for example causing disoriented whales to beach themselves. Krause invites us to listen to all three as he showcases singing trees and contrasting coasts – and the roar of the modern world. He will make you hear the world entirely differently.
Bernie Krause is the world’s leading expert on natural sound and his recordings have enabled the public to hear the sounds of the remotest parts of the world. He has worked with, among others, Sir George Martin, George Harrison and on the cult film Performance with Mick Jagger. He lives in California.

Capturing the everyday trials of wartime Britain and the nation’s transition in to peacetime and beyond, Nella’s touching and often humorous narrative provides an invaluable and entertaining portrait of what life was like for ordinary people in the 1940s and 1950s. As David Kynaston said on Radio 4, Nella ‘will come to be seen as one of the major twentieth-century English diarists’.

Ambiguous Republic Ireland in the 70s A major appraisal of the crucial decade in Ireland’s recent history to be aired on RTE Ireland radio in a thirteen part series ‘Hard-nosed scholarship and moral passion underpin Diarmaid Ferriter’s work.’ Now he turns to the key years of the 1970s, when after half a century of independence, questions were being asked about the old ways of doing things. Ambiguous Republic considers the widespread social, cultural, economic and political upheavals of the decade, a decade when Ireland joined the EEC; when for the first time a majority of the population lived in urban areas; when economic challenges abounded; which saw too an increasingly visible feminist moment, and institutions including the Church began to be subjected to criticism. Diarmaid Ferriter’s earlier books have been described as ‘a landmark’ and ‘an immense contribution’; making ‘brilliant use of new sources’; ‘prodigiously gifted’ and ‘groundbreaking’. All those words apply to this important book based on recently opened archives and unique access to the papers of former premiers Jack Lynch and Liam Cosgrave.
Diarmaid Ferriter is Professor of Modern Irish History at University College, Dublin. His previous books include The Transformation of Ireland 1900–2000, Occasions of Sin and Judging Dev. In 2010 he presented the RTE TV series The Limits of Liberty.

In The Measure of Civilisation, Morris expands upon these ideas, discussing possible objections to this approach, and providing fascinating accounts of his gathering of evidence for his calculations.

Created in 1945 but published in this country for the very first time, The Moomins and the Great Flood offers an extraordinary glimpse into the creativity and imagination that launched the Moomin books. Moominmamma and young Moomintroll search for the long lost Moominpappa through forest and flood, meeting a little creature (an early Sniff) and the elegantly strange Tulippa along the way. Tove Jansson illustrates her first ever Moomin adventure with stunning sepia watercolour and delightful pen and ink drawings. Essential reading for any lover of the Moomins.

JANE BOWLES
Everything is Nice Definitive edition of Jane Bowles’ stories, with a biographical note and photos
Jane Bowles wrote very little: just one perfect novel, Two Serious Ladies, a play, In the Summer House, and the dozen or so stories collected in this volume. But it was enough to establish a reputation as one of the twentieth century’s most original fiction writers. From the title story where an American woman is led to a house in a ‘blue moslem town’ by a veiled woman with porcupines in her basket, to Camp Cataract, a Colorado-based tour de force of middle-class claustrophobia and dread, Everything is Nice takes you into an edgy and exhilarating, tragicomic world. ‘Readers who’ve not yet read Jane Bowles are almost to be envied, like people who’ve still to read Austen or Mansfield or Woolf, and have all the delight, the literary satisfaction, the shock of classic originality, the revelation of such good writing, still to come.’ Ali Smith
Jane Bowles grew up in New York City, where she became part of a bohemian lifestyle along with the writer Paul Bowles. The pair married in 1938, somewhat impulsively. They were devoted companions, living in Tangier, Morocco. Jane Bowles died in 1973 aged only forty.

HELGA DRUMMOND
Guide to Decision-making Getting it more right than wrong In theory, decision-making should be easy: a problem is identified, the decision-makers generate solutions, and choose the optimal one – and powerful mathematical tools are available to facilitate the task. Yet if it is all so simple why do organisations, both private and public sector, keep making mistakes that are borne by shareholders, employees, taxpayers and ultimately society at large? Through its explanation of the underlying science and psychology this will prove an invaluable guide for decision makers.
